Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the lobsters gone? Short time passing
Where have all the lobsters gone? Short time ago
Where have all the lobsters gone?
Live-boiled, screaming, every one
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young pigs gone? Short time passing
Where have all the young pigs gone? Short time ago
Where have all the young pigs gone?

Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Where have all the young ducks gone? Short time passing
Where have all the goslings gone? Short time ago
Where have all the feathered gone?
throats cut, bare-plucked every one!
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
